Proto or not?

Postby t-bone » Wed Jun 29, 2011 11:46 am

I have a question for one of the pillars. I have a Peek-a-boo pop up Reaper. It has a paper label for the hidden message. Is a considered a proto or what? Any other info, please. Thanks

I'm more of a pillow than a pillar but that is interesting. Perhaps it was a test sample.

You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Your destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you

Yes Doug that is a proto. The final production pieces had the saying printed on the plastic tongue, not attached on by a sticker. I have almost 10 Peek-a-boo-pop-up protos and even some of the unpainted pieces have stickers of the sayings.

Thank you Kevin, for your valuable info.

As for the rest of you.... I've actually hurt myself singing along to this song.

I know Kevin already said it but YES it is a proto. I got a couple from a person very close to Funko a few years back and he said that they are considered to be proto's.

It's ALWAYS running thru my mind- that soundtrack is totally one of my "only 3 if stranded on a desert island" choices. And I pray I'd be shipwrecked with rollerskates...
